"What is it?" I asked as I got outside

"It's the Assassins, Steve over heard them....." He started

"Steve? But he's not an Untouchable." I said

"I know, but he wants to help. Their plan is to take us all out. One by one until its just you and they know you can't protect Lee on your own. That's why Steve wants to help, he doesn't want her to get hurt either." He spoke

"Why does he care about Lee?" I snapped

"That's really the only part of that you got Harry?" He almost yelled at me

"You're right, sorry." I shook my head to clear my thoughts

"So what are we going to do?" He asked

"We have to beat them at their own game." I stated

"Harry, I'm not willing to kill a guy. None of us are...." He trailed off

"I know, and I wouldn't ask you to. We don't have to, we play mind games. Well not mind games exactly, we just turn them against Jason which won't be hard, but we need to plan this precisely." I said, ideas forming in my head

"I'll text you tonight okay?" I checked, remembering lee in my room on her own

"Where's Lee?" He asked, almost sensing I was thinking about her

"In my room," I nodded my head up to my window "I wasn't having her own her own"

He nodded "You know we're all here to help, we know how much she means to you Harry."

He patted my shoulder before getting back into his car

"Tell the guys to be careful, yeah?" I nodded

"Course, you too mate." He nodded and drove off

I let out a deep breath, running my hand through my hair then I re-entered my house

"Harry, what's going on?" Lee asked

"Nothing for you to worry about." I tried for my best smile but I could tell it didn't fool her

"Is it the gangs?" She whispered

"Just some problems that happened while we were away, I'm left to sort it all." I shrugged, trying to lighten the mood

"Are you in trouble?" She asked

"I'm always in trouble babe." I chuckled which made her smile

"Come here" I said, opening my arms for her

Accepting the hug, she wrapped her arms around my torso, small fingers gripping at the loose fabric of my shirt

"Promise me you won't do anything stupid?" She muttered

"I promise." I sighed into her hair, planting a kiss atop her head

"Can we watch a movie?" She asked, pulling away from our embrace

"Sure, you choose." I smiled falling into the sofa

After a few moments of looking through my DVD selection she chose one and put it in, joining me on the sofa

"What are we watching?" I asked, wrapping an arm around her shoulder

"Wait and see" she shushed me

"The Cinderella story, really?" I groaned with a smile

"Why do you own it if you don't like it?" She questioned

"My little cousin loves it." I shrugged

"She has good taste in movies." She smiled, pecking my cheek
